A former City Water Department employee has admitted pocketing $4,000 to $7,000 in water bill receipts.
Jeannie S. Carver pleaded guilty Monday in Common Pleas Court to a bill of information charging her with a fifth-degree felony count of theft.
Carver, 38, of 1330 Township Road 653, engaged in a pattern of making adjustments to water customers bills and pocketing the difference, according to Prosecutor Ramona Francesconi-Rogers.
The thefts, which occurred between January 2002 and April 2004, were discovered after a customer questioned a discrepancy on his bill.
Carter was scheduled for sentencing Nov. 6. She faces a maximum of one year in prison.
Carver, a Water Division accounts clerk, began working for the city in December 2000. She was fired in April.
